First act , Alberto Fernández during his trip in Formosa, describes Fernanda Vallejos' suggestion for the State to keep the actions of large companies as “madness” .
Second act , the President shares the act for the opening of a solidarity hospital in Pilar with Paolo Rocca , the CEO of Techint whom he had branded as "miserable", in the first days of the mandatory quarantine. In the multinational they assure that that chapter had been settled and that it even included an apology request from the president. Rocca, who financed Pilar's work with a million dollars, sits in the third row, but is not named by the President.
Third act : Fernández participates this Wednesday in the inauguration of the first premium diesel refining plant in the country together with the Panamerican Energy entrepreneurs . " Thanks Ale, thanks Marcos (Bulgheroni), thanks to the workers, they are a pride for the country," he says.
Alberto Fernández meets with businessmen and unionists.
Fourth act : the president holds a meeting with Roberto Lavagna, the former economy minister, a voice more respected by the red circle than Martín Guzmán. Close to the former presidential candidate they assure that the dialogues with the President and his Minister of Economy are habitual. "He respects Guzmán a lot," they say.
Fifth act: after receiving Lavagna, Fernández receives some of the most important leaders in Argentine business, the Argentine Industrial Association, the Argentine Business Association (AEA) and IDEA . Rocca was invited, but he apologizes for participating in the Techint board meeting. Instead, the head of the Argentine Industrial Union and the Deheza Oil Company, Miguel Acevedo; Luis Pagani, from ARCOR; Sergio Kaufman, of Accenture; Luis Pérez Companc, from Molinos; Javier Madanes Quintanilla, from Aluar; Roberto Murchinson, of IDEA, among others. Almost everyone supported the government's negotiations with creditors weeks ago. They want to avoid default.
The chief advisers to President Juan Manuel Olmos is in charge of citing them and listening to their claims. During the meeting, the Government communicates that the State will invest 37 billion pesos to pay May wages to 1.8 million workers in the private sector.
Some of the entrepreneurs who attended the meeting believe that the work already has a name: " join the great entrepreneurs to find global solutions ."
Several are excited but look with mistrust at the gestures of the President, who the day before received the UTEP Secretary General Esteban Gringo Castro, who presented him with 100 proposals very different from the ones they propose in this scenario; how to eliminate retentions. They also complained about the difficulty of buying dollars. More fears generate in some the proposals of marginal leaders of the ruling party, who promise more radical measures. Meanwhile, the one-time contribution to large fortunes continues to slow. "Without a pandemic we also had an economic crisis," say one of the CEOs.
